What are the Duties of the Head of the Family?

Veer Ji I'm not attacking anyone personally ,I'm challenging the original posit that yourself and Findingmyway ji propounded ,namely that the pause is more important(She did it on other thread).
To me the pause is simply part of the meter. (Way ji will understand the horns part)

Scarlet ji,

Guru Fateh.

If you are not attacking anyone then your use of language above shows otherwise and it is quite inappropriate in any kind of interaction where you accuse others of something that is untrue.

What is a meter? Can you please elaborate what part of the meter Rahao is and its significance in it?

Why is Rahao used as part of the meter in some Shabads and not in others? We know that Gurbani is all written in raags.

Lastly, please respond to the following as asked in my previous post.

Thanks

Tejwant Singh

As stated earlier, I know little about the subject in question, but I come here so that I may learn, I learn through the measured debate of members, look at the different views, and end up agreeing, or disagreeing, or forming my own view point based on the different views, that is what I come here for, that is what interests me, I am dismayed by the current pack mentality which I find most non sikh.

Veer Ji I'm no wolf so how can I have pack mentality,I'm also no sheep and so I must challenge our thinking as a group,when I feel it is right to do so,I'm not challenging any individual and in anycase I'm no match for Findingmywayji,as for attacking Tejwant Singh ji ,that is equivalent to an ant attacking an elephant,pretty suicidal.
Back to the topic of the thread, I really feel that the head of a family should create feet,what I mean to say is teach us to stand by ourselves.My father gave me one sentence advise when I started delivering sofa's,it was 'take the arms in first',with that alone I delivered almost a thousand.Navjeet ji must stand on his feet like his own father did,and perhaps his father had to do it early too.

As I see it, the Head of the Family has the primary duty of looking out for the welfare of the family.

What that would entail depends on the family. I grew up in a very large joint family with my seven older brothers and their families wandering in and out of our lives. Obviously, being the head of such a family is very different from being head of a small nuclear family.

The most important thing, whatever the size and type of family, is to treat everyone with love and respect and always keep in mind what is best for the family. BTW, the only reason a woman can't be Head of the Family is that "it isn't done." In my book, that's no reason, at all. The mother, if her temperament allows, can be a fabulous leader, just as the father can be a complete failure, if his temperament doesn't allow.

Following old traditions because "we've always done it that way" is pointless and counterproductive, at best. Please take a look at the power point presentation to see what I mean.

Of course, we all pray for your father's complete recovery. Please stay in touch and let us know how he's doing.
